For Mom!

I'm so glad that I couldn't take part in that insanity that was purchasing a PlayStation 3!

I wanted, I wanted one badly. I'm not an aggressive person, but I would have been to get a PS3. I like video games, but I am not going to wait outside for 3 days, at a store, when there is as many as 10 systems per store. Sony should have waited until they had made about 5 million of those things. With that said, I think it was a sign for me to make a change.

Last year I made a promise, and I wanted to keep it. Then I found out that Sony was releasing the PS3. Then my selfish side began to rear it's ugly head. I had enough money to get both, but then that would mean I wouldn't be able to get a car next year (whole other story).

In any case, I realized that my selfishness was hurting me. It wasn't making me a good person. Our family is struggling to stay afloat financially and I am spending money on myself. I'm not rich, but I do help out.



We have been in this house for over ten years now. We had the same stove for that long, and it was on it's "last breath of gas". One of the burners caved in, and just about all of the switches melted off of it. Then there were the eyes on the stove that were still working (if you wanted to call it that). Some of the holes were clogged on the eyes. There wasn't any fire coming out of them. My mom wanted to buy a stove, but she didn't have the money. I wanted a PlayStation 3, but there wasn't that many. So what did I do? Well there are plenty of stoves out there, so I decided to make mom happy. I decided to buy her a new stove.



When I was a kid, I wasn't the best. I did some mean things, and I got some spankings and some stern talk from my mom. We both waited so long for each of us to do something.

She waited for me to do something unselfish, and I waited so long for her to say these words.

"You've come a long way from where you were"!

That meant so much to me. You just don't know! I know I keep my feelings to myself, but I hope she knows how much she means to me.

I love you MOM!

Week of Questions (Saturday's Question)

Well at least it was supposed to be Saturday's Question, but blogger decided that it wanted to throw a tantrum. It's funny how Blogger Beta is working better than Blogger.

Anyhoo, there was a grand total of 5 votes for my poll (LMAO)

Chris had three of them. Can you say Pimp Joint? Who is Chris you say? He is the famous blog chef who always makes me hungry with his recipes. He also gave me some advice on a book that I'm (trying) to read. Visit Inane Thoughts and Insane Ramblings, You may learn something, and you will definitely get a laugh or two.

Chris asks:

Have you ever done something that you later thought to yourself "I have become a horrible person"?

Well yeah, more than once. I'll tell you about one of them though.

When I was a kid my mom tried <--(key word there) to teach me how to share. I wouldn't listen, because I was a stubborn kid. When I got the Nintendo Entertainment System, my mother tried to make me let my brother play, but I wouldn't. She would threaten to take it away from me, but i'd call her bluff. Well eventually my N.E.S. broke, and my mom bought Jevon one. For a time Jevon wouldn't let me play either, and I think I deserved that. Fast forward to 1997 when I got my first job ever, for the summer. It was that short time when I got kicked out from my mom's house by my step-father. MY father had a friend, who had a twin brother that worked as a supervising janitor (I don't know what you call his title). Well after I got my first paycheck. My step-mom hinted that she wanted me to treat her and my dad to dinner. Did I take the hint? NO! Instead I spent my money on myself, buying some school clothes, comic books, and video games. Is that selfish or what? Now that I am older I realized that, that wasn't very thoughtful of me. You'd think I would have learned my lesson completely, but I didn't. I was blinded by something that I really wanted. So I was going to get the Playstation 3. Lucky for me, that there were only about 500,00 copies made, and only about nine will be sent to every store in the United States. I'm glad that this happened, because It gave me time to see my selfishness, and I realized that my mom needed some help. What did I do??? Well that answer will be saved for a future post. Lets just say helping my mom made me feel more fufilled than any ole video game ever will. Thanx Chris!

Thanx to everyone that took time out to ask me a Question.

Later!
